    Americans - a Public Service Film by Kid Rock & Sean Penn

    "Americans" is a short, public service film starring Sean Penn and Kid Rock, directed by Jameson Stafford. The goal of the film is to tear down the one-dimensional political stereotypes portrayed by the media by confronting them head on. It reminds us that what really matters is that we're all Americans, with diverse thoughts, opinions and stances on issues. We are millions of unique, individual parts, the sum of which comprise a whole that is the shining beacon of freedom throughout the world.

    The film reminds us to be proud of our differences, and to never forget that we're all in this together as Americans.

Great piece, but need to add a special thanks to Sean for all his time, donations, and hard work in Haiti, post earthquake. Great guy, and those he helped will be forever grateful to both he and America.

loved the video, I wish it could be like this but there is so much hate with this election from race to womans rights, from Republicans that work for the rich and take from the middle class and poor. I was truly disappointed when Kid Rock sposered Romney I thought that kid would be one for womans rights and helping the people that buy and lisen to his music. Obama walked into this white house in a BIG mess and we should all know that its going to take longer then 4 yrs to get anything done. We must remember those that live and raised in Michigan it was Obama that helped the auto industries and Romney wanted them to fall. Just remember to Vote its a very important election for woman.

What's the name of the song that starts to play when Kid Rock and Sean Penn give each other a hug after watching the news? And will it be on the new album? That was a good song.

Off the election subject..I think Jameson should direct a Kid Rock Reality show, I think a few fans would tune in to that!! Webcrew - what's a girl got to do to get some help? Emails have been sent the last few mths w no reply. Trying to be tactful here. Reality show would be a huge hit, just sayin! ; )

Box 5456 Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456 If you can, please post this information on your news. With the amount of fans and supporters you have reading your news posts I am hoping we all can send a ton of Holiday cards to wounded soldiers! Just a simple Holiday card will mean so much to a wounded soldier and his/her family. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Chris Kotwick

Wow. I love the video. I even like Sean Penn a little now for being enough of a man to do it with you. Nice message. Can't wait for your new cd to come out. Hope it's not too raunchy. :) Cheryl, Thackerville, Ok. blackjack table

As a bartender here in Florida, I see SO MUCH of this EVERY NIGHT. It makes me so sad. When the news broke on this, it actually made me cry. If only we could all see what's right in front of us! I really love this Bob. You did a good thing. Made my Birthday a little brighter. AMERICANS!!!!

VERY well done! The political opinions of others being shoved down the surrounding throats in social situations is worse than any other election I remember. Great to see a video where there is compromise and peace! This was the first and only politically-based post I put on FaceBook and Twitter. It will be my last! I'm more proud than ever to take over the music at the local bar and play Kid Rock all night long! ☮

Rock you are so damn good that is why I am so proud to call you my middle son. This is great and when the world knows that we all stand together for our Country and can agree to disagree but at end it is all about our freedom!!!! We could all learn to use the word compromise more often instead of my way or the highway!!!!

The Academy Award goes to ........KID ROCK! Would love to see more of Kid on the big screen. Afraid to discuss political opinions as it could be unsafe or held against my kids at school.

LOVE IT! Brought a smile to my face. People have got to realize that we can have differing opinions and still be friends. Diversity is what American is all about. Thanks Bobby for trying to remind people of that!
